Cutītle (k?tīt'l) 1.(Zool) A cephalopod of the genus Sepia, having an internal shell, large eyes, and ten arms furnished with denticulated suckers, by means of which it secures its prey. 2. A foul-mouthed fellow

Last tracking Luis shows up at wp3 out of 9. So, IF rumors are true and he's back in, he still has a LONG night ahead of him. Add that to the possibity of his bike not running well. He will have to show yet again, he's an iron man.

Good on paper maybe, but with all the potential of blowing up in their face. Dakar is so much more than just about the bike or the rider, I think the whole team structure and the way to go about dominating the race like KTM have is something that could never be replicated elsewhere with the same ingredients.... because I don't think you can just buy a winning team. You have to create it from the ground up.

Playing catch up, can't agree more with this post.

Herrera (Laia's team mate) has just shown up through WP9 and she looked to be near to him (being towed by him?) at WP8. Maybe she can still get back?

I'd missed him earlier as he's shown as riding a Yamaha in some lists and a GasGas in others but I read a reference to him helping her (as team mate) a couple of hours ago.
Edit, looks like GasGas. http://www.dakar.com/dakar/2013/us/rider/058.html
